Connection Errors Reported on Slow Networks (iOS)

When I am on a slow network connection like Edge, I
frequently get "Connection errors". What's wrong?

The connection problems your experiencing can be due to any
number of things but mostly occur when you are on a slow edge
connection. Twitterrific experiences these problems more than other
clients because we have a unified timeline which means we fetch ALL
of your tweets on refresh - Normal, @ replies, DM's etc. and then
combine them into a single stream. When your connection is slow,
sometimes this refresh takes longer than twitter allows, times out
and connection errors are reported.

The only way to avoid this problem is for us to fetch fewer
tweets at a time (something users have told us they hate) or move
to a stronger network connection. Once you're on a WiFi or strong
3G network, 99% of the time, these connection errors vanish.
